Pearl Floral Pins?
Here are some places-
THey are called corsage pins. Try using that in a search engine for more places to find online.

You could also check with a local florist and see if they would sell you some but the above places seem pretty inexpensive.
Hope to help!
Reply:look under corsage or boutonniere pins, something should come up with that. if you still can't find anything stop into a flower shop and ask them if they can order a box of them for you, they should still be pretty inexpensive getting them that way.
Reply:dont buy the pins at all
stick with roses
it draws more attention to the flowers
Reply:Why not purchase them locally at Walmart or Joanns so you don't have to pay shipping?
Reply:Try Hobby Lobby or Michael's craft stores. They would probably be in the sewing section.

Bouquets to Match?
Do the flowers/colors of the bride's bouquet match the bouquet of the bride's maids? The dresses are a soft pink and I have chosen cream colored roses with pink tips for my bouquet.
The bouquet style I am selecting for my wedding will be cascade but the style for the bride's maids will be hand tied.
Does anyone happen to have any resources about floral matching for the bride/bride's maids/groom/groom's men?
It's the first "formal" wedding for both families and I am going nuts!
Thank You for Responses.
Bouquets to Match?
You can have different bouquets I have seen it done and it looks good. Ive even seen bride with one bouquet, MOH with another and all BM's with their matching ones. Id just make sure they all tie together somehow.
Reply:Usually the bridesmaids' bouquets are smaller versions of the bride's bouquet. In your case, it's good that the style of them is different. Roses are expensive, so maybe go with another combination of pink and cream flowers for them - maybe in a darker pink than their dresses.
Your groom could have a rose like that in your bouquet, maybe with stephanotis or baby's breath. His groomsmen could wear a single flower of whatever you choose for the bridesmaids.
Just talk with your local florist - they are amazing!
Reply:In all weddings I have been in, the bouquets did not match. In my own wedding, I carried white calla lillies while the girls carried pink calla lillies, so there was continuity there. But I think you can do it the same, possibly make yours larger or add some greenery to yours (cascading) and keep theirs tight and clean (hand tied).
Reply:I don't know of any websites, but I don't think they have to match. In my wedding, they did, but it's all a matter of taste. Maybe you should try:

Reply:i think the style of dress needs to match the style of dress, and then matching up colours. i think the brides maids don't need to match with the bride, in florals and decoratives.
(love the choice of flowers!)
Reply:The colors you have chosen sounds amazing!!! There is no reason for either way. But I think it always looks better when the flowers go with dresses. A good idea, If you have a white dress, which most do, then have a ribbon tied around your waist to match your bride's maids dresses. And then have the guys have a flower to match and in there jacket pockets.
Reply:I usually do the brides with more color and the brides with around 5 or more in the cream with around 3 to 4 in the pink to match the brides, adding more trailing ribbon in the pink to the bridesmaids bouquets and this totally matches and just the right amount of color for all bouquets. Best Wishes

Flowers not made in a bouquet?
So I seem to be having a major dumb moment... I got the idea of making a birthday cake out of wet floral foam and fresh flowers.... only thing is now I can't figure out where to go to buy flowers not already made into a bouquet.
Also, how do florists get started? Is there florist school? See what I mean, major dumb moment going on!!
Heck, its Friday! I've got an excuse!
Flowers not made in a bouquet?
go to your grocery store floral department. You can get bunches of flowers, in a bouquet or not. Ours has stems of tulips, in groups of 7, I think. Carnations, daffodils, or alstromeria...which last a long time.
Reply:Most major stores such as grocery stores and WalMarts, KMarts etc. have single flowers that you can buy. Most floral shops also have singles that you can buy. As far as training, check with your large floral shops. In Illinois, it was Amling's. Most of these large distributors offer classes and training. Also check your local community college or Adult Education. Most of these colleges will offer classes in what you are talking about. It is not a dumb question, you are looking for an answer to something that interests you. That's what were here to do...answer you.
Reply:any local flower shop will sell you cut flowers loose. Just because they wrap them in paper to look nice doesn't mean you can't take it apart! buy the bouquet anyway and taKE IT APART

How do you make a chocolate bar & candy bouquet?
I'm trying to make a candy bouquet for a centerpiece, and I wanted to know how to make one. I bought a flower pot, mini candy bars, Skittles, and many other Halloween candies. But I don't know how to assemble it. I purchased bbq skewers, floral tape, %26amp; floral foam (Cones %26amp; rectangular shaped foam). I tried putting one together by gluing the skewers to the candy, but for some reason I don't know how to assemble it nicely and I don't know which floral foam to use for something like that. Any specific directions? Example: http://imagescommerce.bcentral.com/merch... (Does anyone know if the candy is assembled all around the pot or on just one side?)
How do you make a chocolate bar %26amp; candy bouquet?
well, this may take awhile...its easier to use hersheys kisses, but here goes. Put the skewer just a bit into the candy, take the floral tape, and stretch it as you wrap, around the bottom of the candy and down the skewer. Put whatever floral foam fits the best into your pot...cut the skewers into about three different lengths, and arrange the candy all around..all sides, with the tallest at the top. You will still need something to cover the floral foam that shows..like shredded tissue paper or floral moss or something ..hope this helps

How to order specific rose varieties for wedding flowers?
Hi! I'm a freelance floral designer and I would like to know what are the most popular varieties of roses that you use for weddings? I'm having a hard time ordering the specific variety that I need... for example, creamy white is so different than stark white, and there are so many different pinks!!! Also, for bouquets and boutonierres I need the blooms to stay tighter, while for centerpieces, I need blooms that blow open quickly and have a high petal count. Can you help me with an easy guide to wedding roses? Thanks in advance!!!
How to order specific rose varieties for wedding flowers?
Well what roses to use during a wedding is subjective to what the bride wants. My mom is a gardening nut and she has this book "American Rose Society Encyclopedia of Roses". It has infomation on 2000 different roses and their properties. I say buy the book and expand on what types of roses you use. Good Luck!

How much will this bouquet re-creation cost?
45 to 60 dollars depends on what you want exactly

Where can I buy pre-stemmed bouquet holders?
I have seen an item that is made with fake stems at the bottom and floral foam on the top that flowers could be inserted into to make bridal bouquets.
Where can I buy pre-stemmed bouquet holders?
Go to a craft store. If you have a michaels arts near by they are good. Some fabric stores like Joann's and Hancock have them also. look for arts and crafts store in your phone book, or floral supply stores.
Reply:joann fabrics, michaels, maybe hobby lobby
Reply:I found them in the wedding department at Wal-Mart for about $10.00. Made a really beautiful bouquet and added that fresh flower touch.
